Tue, 16 Nov 2010 06:31:24 PSTDon't Ruin ThanksgivingEvery year at this time I encounter someone who is at the crossroads. Should I really invest the time in preparing a turkey for Thanksgiving? The question I always ask back is do you want to ruin Thanksgiving or do you want to be a rock star?&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;It's really easy to ruin Thanksgiving. Just throw the turkey in a roasting pan with a little seasoning and place it in the oven for hours. You will end up with a turkey that is dry and has little or no flavor. So much so that you will find your guests dousing it with gravy or spreading the cranberry sauce on thick. And you will always be remembered for that flavorless dry turkey. You can imagine the conversations or I know you've participated in the conversations. It goes something like this.. How was your Thanksgiving? It was ok. How was the turkey? Oh it was really dry, no flavor. Poor thing. She or...http://www.simplefoodie.com/blog/?p=7

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 09:30:31 PDTA Great Cup of JoeIt&#146;s Sunday morning and I&#146;m hankering for a good strong cup of coffee so I decide to go visit the new Intelligentsia in Old Town Pasadena. This is the first Intelligentsia east of the 5 freeway in the greater Los Angeles/hipster area. I&#146;ve been to other high-end coffee shops before like LA Mill and understand the thought and mission behind these establishments. Provide the best in season coffee from small organic farms and brew in the best way possible to produce the perfect most flavorful cup of coffee.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;When you enter Intelligentsia you are greeted with a simple printed menu with coffee and tea choices.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Behind the bar there are two espresso machines.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;A section for siphoned coffee that looks like they are heated by infrared burners underneath.&#13;&a...http://www.simplefoodie.com/blog/?p=126
Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:10:13 PDTPollo a la BrasaAbout 12 years ago I went back to Peru to visit my family and to show off my new bride. Since you can&#146;t go to Peru without visiting Cuzco and Machu Pichu we took the crazy plane ride from Lima to the city that is at around 12,000 feet above sea level. As you take off and the plane starts to climb into the sky you realize that you never level off the plane is continually going higher and higher into the sky. When you look out the plane&#146;s windows you see high peaks on either side piercing through the high clouds. &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;When you arrive in Cuzco the hotel serves you coca tea and advises you to take it easy so you can get used to the altitude and lack of oxygen. Needless to say we crashed and slept most of the day. As we woke up to a darkened Cuzco we were starving and hit the streets looking for something to eat. &#13;&#10;&a...http://www.simplefoodie.com/blog/?p=123
